  • Don't wait to use the garment when it's a crisis. Create a habit of putting on the garment and allowing the child to move around in it before placing the child in a stimulating atmosphere. Good results are seen when the garment is used as part of an activity such as recess, at the store or at church.

  • Time limitations don't always matter; some children may find the deep pressure and proprioceptive input to help with body awareness issues.
    Use according to each individual child's needs.o Remember - this is a non-invasive therapeutic opportunity. Have Fun!
